Yvette Fielding, the show's host, said, 'We were thrilled by our experiences atPreston Manor. The house has a fascinating history and our investigationswere more than fully rewarded. Karl is convinced he was confronted by theManor's White Lady!'
If you'd like to see the frightening fun, the episode is scheduled to be broadcast on LIVINGtv on Tuesday 1 August 2006 at 9pm. Check TV schedules nearer to transmission time for details.
